Image of Our Lady of Kibeho, Mother of the WordWhen Mary AsksIt sometimes happens that a soul will sense that Our Lady is asking for the offering of a particular prayer, such as five decades of the rosary. This inspiration will come unsolicited; the soul experiences it like a gentle, but insistent, request

Lessons from the WYD Cross

From the Toronto SunThis weekend marks the fourth anniversary of the beginning of World Youth Day 2002 activities here in Toronto.Today I would like to look back at one aspect of World Youth Day 2002 that touched so many people across Canada during the 14 months prior to the event.At the heart of every World Youth Day is a very simple, powerful, ancient Christian symbol: Two large planks of wood, known as the World Youth Day Cross, that a few journalists have called the “Olympic Torch” of the huge Catholic Festival that we were blessed to have in Canada.The World Youth Day 2002 Cross Pilgrimage throughout Canada continues to stir many hearts and evoke wonderful memories five years after it began on April 11, 2001.

A PRAYER FOR THOSE WHO GOVERN US

We beg You, O Almighty and Eternal God our Father, who through Jesus Christ reveals Your glory to all nations, all people, preserve the works of Your mercy; grant that Your Church, spread throughout the world, continues with unchanging faith to proclaim Your Name, Abba, and to preach the Gospel of Life. We pray You O Merciful Father of might, wisdom, justice, from Whom all authority on earth originates, that all those with governing authority govern rightly, administer and defend Your laws, judge according to Your mercy, defend life from conception to natural death, defend and protect the sacredness of marriage and family life, never over burden citizens with excessive taxes or laws which abridge authentic freedom, and that they care for the poor and the vulnerable

Olympic Games’ Opening Ceremony: Blech.

I loathe TV commercials.  But last night, during the short amount of my life which I will never have back, I thought the commercials were better than the Olympic Games’ Opening Ceremony.I tuned in the first time while they were dancing around hospital beds in honor of the National Health Service

An authentic ministry of welcome

It is always strange to me when people ask my permission to attend Mass. This sometimes happens when non-Catholics are impressed by a Requiem Mass, a Baptism or a Wedding (we should always remember that these are occasions of evangelisation.) It also happens when Catholics wonder if they are “allowed” to come to Mass – probably because they have read in some liberal paper somewhere that the Church has “excluded” them.Brandon Vogt, on his excellent blog has a striking parish bulletin announcement which I rather like (though I would not want it to be accompanied by the dreadful “All Are Welcome” hymn): “We extend a special welcome to those who are single, married, divorced, gay, filthy rich, dirt poor, yo no habla Ingles.
